The Sadies

  • The Old Cold Store, Nottingham (map)

Without doubt or qualification, The Sadies are one of Canada's greatest extant rock ’n’ roll bands — just as they have been for the last quarter-century. Versatile and imaginative, they skip from astral psychedelia to shuffling bucolics and leap from puckish pop to righteous garage-rock without losing momentum or mastery. Their new albums deliver master classes on pointed songwriting, lockstep harmonies, and a devil-may-care attitude to expectations and past successes.

With their preternatural musicianship and vocal harmonies, The Sadies can blow pretty much any band off the stage—anyone who’s ever seen them live knows that. But what is sometimes overlooked is their superlative songwriting. With the new release, “Colder Streams” they’ve delivered one of their most memorable albums yet: 11 distinctively original new songs imbued with melody, mystery and that indefinable Sadies magic. It’s been said before, but it bears repeating: most bands only get worse with age—much, much worse—the Sadies continue to confound us by getting better and better.

“The Sadies' world has been shaken,” said the band in a joint statement. “While we struggle with the loss of Dallas – our brother, friend, and band mate music has been our source of comfort and coping. We are honoured to announce the release of our new album, Colder Streams. We are so proud of Dallas and the work that went into this album and look forward to sharing it with you.”
